Linsu
Read full descriptionHide full description
A day isn't a list. It's one line you follow — and the line never breaks, however the day goes. Linsu is a calm, manual planner for daily routines. It shows you one step at a time, instead of a wall of tasks to get through before you can start. It was built for adults with ADHD, and it works for anyone whose day doesn't fit a standard planner. ONE STEP AT A TIME • The current step fills the screen. Finish it, and the next one arrives. • A live finish time, recalculated as you go, so you can see where the day lands. • Optional timers per step — on where they help, off where they don't. SKIPPING NEVER FAILS ANYTHING • Skip, reorder, or jump ahead at any point. Nothing gets marked as failed. • No streaks to break, no guilt notifications. The summary counts what you did. • Unfinished things roll gently into tomorrow instead of turning red. YOUR DAY, NOT JUST YOUR SCHEDULE • Anchored items sit at their time. "Sometime today" items don't need one. • Six starter routines — Morning, Wind down, Out the door, Focus reset, Tidy sprint, Work shutdown — so the first screen is never blank. First routine in under a minute, with no questionnaire to answer. • Reminders that actually arrive: timed steps are scheduled and re-checked, with an optional extra heads-up before each one. BUILT TO BE COMFORTABLE • Low-sensory mode: calmer colors, less motion. • Celebrations are optional, and off in low-sensory mode. • Full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support. YOUR LISTS CANNOT DISAPPEAR Every change is written to an append-only journal on your device, so nothing is quietly overwritten. Undo any change. Export a backup file whenever you like. NO ACCOUNT. NO ANALYTICS. NOTHING SOLD. Version 1.0 has no server and no backend. There is no sign-up and no tracking, everything except buying Pro works with no connection, and nothing you write leaves your iPhone. HONEST PRICING Your first routine is free, with every feature: timers, reminders, the today list, backups. There are no ads. Linsu Pro unlocks unlimited routines. • $4.99 per month, or $39.99 per year • US prices; the App Store sets your local price, and the app shows it before you commit to anything • Billing goes through the App Store only. Cancel any time in iOS Settings → Subscriptions — no emails, no retention hoops • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. SUPPORT Something broken, confusing, or missing? Email support@linsu.app — mentioning what happened right before helps a lot.

Arlam

Arlam junta en un solo sitio lo que normalmente exige cuatro apps distintas: tareas, temporizador de enfoque, bloqueo de distracciones y progreso real, sin dashboards que limpiar ni rachas que se rompen por un mal día. TAREAS, SIN RUIDO Organiza lo que tienes que hacer hoy y mañana, sin listas infinitas ni categorías que nunca usas. Planea la noche anterior y despierta sabiendo por dónde empezar. ENFOCAR Sesiones de trabajo con temporizador tipo pomodoro y presets pensados para cada tipo de tarea. La cuenta atrás te acompaña en la pantalla de bloqueo. Mientras trabajas, Arlam tapa las apps que más te distraen, no solo te avisa. BLOQUEO DE APPS Elige qué apps quieres que desaparezcan durante tus sesiones de enfoque, con un horario fijo o con un límite diario. Para salir hay que pararse a pensarlo, y con el modo difícil no hay salida hasta terminar. RACHA CON DÍAS DE SALVACIÓN Las rachas normales se rompen por un solo mal día y la motivación se va con ellas. En Arlam eliges de antemano tus días más flojos de la semana y un poco de esfuerzo basta para que cuenten. Un mal día no te hace perder semanas de constancia real. PROGRESO REAL Un vistazo honesto a tus horas de enfoque y tus días activos, mes a mes, sin gráficas que solo sirven para impresionar. PRIVACIDAD Tus datos son tuyos. Sin analítica de terceros, sin venta de datos, y puedes borrar tu cuenta y todo su contenido al momento desde Ajustes. ARLAM PRO Lo esencial es gratis. Con Pro desbloqueas el bloqueo sin límites (más horarios fijos, límite diario y una lista de apps por preset), el modo difícil, presets de enfoque ilimitados y el tiempo de uso de la semana y del mes. 7 días de prueba gratis. Después, 6,99 € al mes o 49,99 € al año. La suscripción se renueva automáticamente salvo que la canceles al menos 24 horas antes de que termine el periodo, desde los ajustes de tu Apple ID.
